Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is a suitable treatment for patients who want to eliminate mild to moderate dental staining. As the name suggests, you can expect your smile to look several shades whiter. Since the treatment process is minimal and noninvasive, we’ll simply need to review your medical history and examine your oral health.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
It depends on whether you choose the take-home method or an in-office whitening. Here’s a closer look at what you can expect for each method:
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
We use the Nite White system for our take-home kits. After taking impressions of your mouth, Dr. Hong will design and provide you with a set of customized plastic trays. You’ll carefully apply the whitening agent to your trays as instructed, then simply put them on for a certain amount of time each day. Most patients start to notice results within the first two weeks!
In-Office Teeth Whitening
For our in-office treatments, we use Opalescence Boost. Dr. Hong will apply the whitening agents himself, taking great care to avoid your gums and soft oral tissue. To speed up the process, we’ll shine a special curing light on your smile, and by the end of your appointment, you’ll see a dramatic difference.
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
Since you can develop dental stains simply by eating and drinking, you might be wondering how you can make your results last longer. Dr. Hong has performed many teeth whitening treatments, and recommends following these expert tips:
- Limit your consumption of foods and drinks with strong pigments, like coffee, tea, red wine, and tomato sauce.
- Brush your teeth twice daily and floss at least once per day.
- Visit our office every six months to have plaque and tartar removed from your smile.
- Try not to bite your nails, use your teeth as tools, smoke tobacco products, or engage in other bad dental habits.
- Consider using our take-home kits for occasional touchups.
